My suggestions would be as follows. You're in there, why not replace the pump for an extra 30? How many miles are on the current pump? Get a new Sender gasket and a new lock ring ("bung nut") because you'll probably bend the hell out of the old one unless you're very careful.

The hose size is 5/16" and I would clamp it as well.

Get some PB Blaster and soak it (the bung nut) the day before. Things will come apart much easier.

Good Luck
Marty
